You are so right about our need to be very careful and aware. I can't thank everyone on TM enough for all of the valuable tips and information that I have learned and continue to learn every day, right here in our online home.
With this new awareness, put yourselves in my place this morning. Picture yourself just getting up this morning after a fitful night's sleep and getting that first cup of coffee. Then, open your back door to let your cats out (dogs, rabbits, turtles, whatever you have) and seeing your backyard littered with about 30 MYLAR balloons. Some of which have already started to expand again due to the sun shining on them.
Now really, be honest. What would you do?
LOL! As my coffee cup fell out of my lifeless fingers and shattered on the concrete patio, my mouth was yelling "What the h3ll??" ROFL!!!!!!
The next sound I heard was my neighbor, on the other side of the privacy fence, saying "Ummm neighbor, sorry about the balloons. Had a family party last night and the kids got carried away with the balloons once they were deflating. Be right over to clean them up"
WHEW!!!!! Yeah, I was pretty freaked out at first. When the neighbor came over, which I told him wasn't necessary but he's one of those "good" neighbors thank the Lord, he totally understood my first reaction. He felt really badly about scaring me. I told him it was good practice and that I really have to get over that first, paralyzing shock that seems to hit me.
So, if you see a SD headline about an east county woman shattering the peaceful early morning hours with horrible curse words, relax, it's all good now : )
lol - I would have had the same reaction! lol

LOL TM at it's best!!
That description made me wish they made industrial strength Lysol. Like in a fire extinguisher.....WHOOOOSH
:-D
Thanks for sharing that.

The only help is a healthy dose of Lavender Essential Oil, to calm the nerves and closing the door, to keep the germs out.........
I am sure that it would have affected me the same way.
Joining you in prayers of thanks, that they were kids toys and not from an unknown source.
Well I'm glad it was just a "dry practice run" Kyla! Good to know you are all right and it was just the coffee cup that was injured.
OMG, that's funny now...
But I can imagine exactly the expression on your face.
I would've freaked momentarily too.
